NAME Copy-DbaAgentAlert
SYNOPSIS
Copy-DbaAgentAlert migrates alerts from one SQL Server to another.
SYNTAX
Copy-DbaAgentAlert [-Source] <DbaInstanceParameter> [[-SourceSqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Destination]
<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-DestinationSqlCredential] <Pscredential>]
[[-Alert] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludeAlert] <System.Object[]>] [-IncludeDefaults <Switch>] [-Force <Switch>]
[-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
By default, all alerts are copied. The -Alert parameter is auto-populated for command-line completion and can be
used to copy only specific alerts.
If the alert already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.
PARAMETERS
-Alert [<System.Object[]>]
The alert(s) to process. This list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all alerts will be
processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DestinationSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeAlert [<System.Object[]>]
The alert(s) to exclude. This list is auto-populated from the server.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, the Alert will be dropped and recreated on Destination.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-IncludeDefaults [<Switch>]
Copy SQL Agent defaults such as FailSafeEmailAddress, ForwardingServer, and PagerSubjectTemplate.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Source [<DbaInstanceParameter>]
Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SourceSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]

Requires: sysadmin access on SQL Servers
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaAgentAlert -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
Copies all alerts from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using Windows credentials. If alerts with the same name exist
on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaAgentAlert -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -Alert PSAlert -SourceSqlCredential $cred
-Force
Copies a only the alert named PSAlert from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a
and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If an alert with the same name exists on sqlcluster, it will be dropped
and recreated because -Force was used.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaAgentAlert -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf -Force
Shows what would happen if the command were executed using force.
